    Sharing the goodness..

    Hullo all, I want to spread the news about how good some of these story hours are, unfortunately a couple of the people who I want to get to read them have *intermittent* internet access. This isn't entirely an altruistic desire, I want to share some of the high level story hours to get some...

    Yay! I get to play a high(er) level character (Help me make it cool)

    I usually DM and one of my friends is starting a game to play on odd nights on our game night. Its 15th level Characters with mages etc being dubious as there was some magical cataclysm recently and they are rare and mistrusted. We are currently playing Ars Magica and I have a crazy elemental...

    Can an Arcane Archer use scrolls with Imbue arrow

    The thread title say it all really. I suppose I should expand this to. Can they by RAW? What sequence of actions would it take? Is this intended by the spirit of the rules, is it too powerful, too weak without etc etc. I have a sorceror 2 fighter the rest going for AA as soon as possible...

    Counterspelling yet again

    Just read a thread where someone mentioned the idea of a swift action dispel magic. I really like the idea of counterspelling being a good tactic in general. I have engineered and been subject to scenarios where dispelling worked really well while the fighters beat a mage down. I'd liek it to...

    Again I raid ENworld for its ideas!

    After so much success with the ideas posted the last time I asked for ideas about my wild-elfy savage homebrew. And due to the stinking cough cold andsore throat that is slowing my thinking to a crawl. I thought I'd ask for some cool ideas of items creatures or locations within a dwarven...

    Recently posted a thread asking for ideas in the general forum, for a wilderness elven savage campaign. I have more of an idea where I want to take the campaign now and am sorting out some protagoinists and concepts. At the end of the last session the party found an item (crystal glowing...

    Sundering (I'm want to make sure I understand)

    Right, I have a character in the game I run/have just started to run, who has expressed interest in the improved sunder feat - this in its self is fine. However I have not really used the sunder rules before and want to make sure I know how they run. It also seems to me from the description...

    Modification to LA - very vague idea

    I really like the idea of the LA races, however the way the system breaks down with fifth level characters with 1 HD or whatever bugs me. I'm not planning on re working the entire system and I don't particularly want a grand unified system, just to hash out some simple changes that'd prevent...

    Adding levels to a > than 1 HD humanoid

    This is a two part question. First is to check I am doing it right. making a human barbarian normal human has 1 racial HD when given a level of barbarian replaces that with the barbarian HD so 1d8 + con mod -----> 1d12 + con mod making a gnoll barbarian starts with 2 racial HD when given a...

    Daggerspell Mage special ability Invokation of the knife.

    Still toying vaguely with the daggerspell mage prestige class (anything is better than revision! ;) ) Second level ability Invocation of the knife, looks pretty funky and flavourful. I'm not sure how much of what it i'm allowed to post (don't want to be a bad snowy :) ). Can turn half energy...

    Where's Reactive Counterspell, and any other counterspell feats/comments.

    Was pondering an idea for a character, haven't got a game for him to go in, just more fun that typing up my project :). Was thinking about using complete adventurer and making a spellthief but they're a bit too specialised and not too tricky to build (Still sounds fun but i'll just roll it up...
